We're Not Just Friends!

Holy f**k, David
Our parents are coming for dinner tonight
Wait, both sets of parents
At once

I thought we said that we'd tell them someday
But someday we just RSVP'd
Do I call them mom today
Do we sit side by side or act halfway

Do we touch? Do we joke
Do we pour more wine
Or do we keep pretending everything's fine
My dad still calls you your roommate

My mom keeps asking if you're seeing anyone great
And every time I start to speak
they offer pie or change the beat
We're not just friends

though they clearly missed the clues
Like the matching rings and the joint shampoo
We're not just friends
though we smiled and played the part

But tonight it's time
we say it from the heart
We love each other and we've built a home
We've had big fights and made up on the phone

We kiss in the morning and brush teeth at night
And this time we won't dim our light
If they ask me, I'll say the truth
Not just we're close, but he's my roof

My person, my choice, my best damn day
And anyone who loves me
will love me that way
Also, we made lasagna

Your mom brought cookies
My dad looked pale
Your aunt called us brave while sipping an ale
But they listened, they stayed, they saw the truth

And didn't run from our uncensored youth
We're not just friends
We're love and dance and dreams and light
We're casserole talks and sleeping tight

We're early walks and Sunday shelves
We've built a life with no one else
We are family
